The Space:
Soak up the sun and take in the sweeping views of the Sawatch range with a cup of coffee or glass of wine while lounging in the adirondacks setup outside the front of this home. Enter the house featuring the covered 42 sq foot covered deck.
The spacious and inviting open-concept living and kitchen area allows for celebrated meals, relaxation, or remote work in the mountains. The kitchen is fully equipped with new appliances and has everything you need. Coffee enthusiasts can grind their own beans and brew with the included electric coffee grinder and Moccamaster.

The living room features a versatile standup/sit-down desk with a monitor, a cozy gas fireplace, smart TV, and ample seating. Take in breathtaking mountain views from the bay window and use the hooks, ski rack, and boot dryer to conveniently store and dry your gear.
The back bedroom offers access to the backyard and a comfortable memory foam king-sized bed with a down comforter. The front bedroom has a memory foam queen bed with a down comforter as well. The recently remodeled bathroom features a new dual vanity and a shower (no bathtub).

This location is perfect for outdoor enthusiasts, with easy access to skiing, hiking, biking, ATVing, and high-altitude running.
